Bungo Stray Dogs, a series that has been criminally underrated, has just wrapped up its fifth season. With its unique blend of literary references, supernatural elements, and complex characters, the show has garnered a dedicated fanbase. But what’s next for this Seinen gem? Let’s dive into the details, shall we?
The Emotional Whirlwind of Season 5
“After 11 spectacular episodes, Season 5 of Bungo Stray Dogs has finally come to an end,”
as reported by Dexerto. The season was a rollercoaster of emotions, especially for fans of Dazai His dark fate was “painful to see in the penultimate episode,”
and the finale didn’t pull any punches either. But the end of Season 5 didn’t feel like a full stop; it felt more like an ellipsis, leaving fans to wonder, “Will there be a Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6https://www.hiptoro.com/p/bungo-stray-dogs-season-6-release-date-cast-and-burning-questions-answered?”
The Million-Dollar Question: Is Season 6 Happening?
As of September 2023, the answer is still up in the air. Studio Bones has yet to make an official announcement. Unlike the quick confirmation that followed Season 4, things are a bit more complicated this time around. Why? Because the anime has caught up with its source material, the manga.
“Season 5 of Bungo Stray Dogs has caught up with the manga,”
Dexerto states. With 110 chapters of the manga released so far and the anime covering all these events, there’s not enough material for a new season. Even the 10th episode of Season 5 adapted events from chapter 108, leaving the series in a precarious position.
The Manga’s Slow Burn
Unlike the fast-paced release schedule of most Shonen series, Bungo Stray Dogs takes its time. A new chapter is released only once a month, which means it could take years to accumulate enough material for a new season. So, if you’re an anime fan waiting for Season 6, you might want to start reading the manga to fill that void. But be warned: even manga readers are “in the dark about the latest events.”
